They should take fouling out away from the game of basketball (hear me out)?

Yes, I am a heat fan and I am really pissed, but ive been saying this for over 2 years and even when it does not affect the heat I get upset. Like when KD fouled out in the finals last year.

Hear what they should do

Jeff Van Gundy said this and he knows the game of basketball a lot more then most people. Instead of a player getting kicked out on his 6 fouls the opponent gets 2 free throws and the ball, even if its a non shooting foul or they are no in the penalty When they get their 7th foul its 3 free throws and the ball and it goes so on and so forth. That can be a 5 point turn around and keep some coaches from keeping average players in the game. However, we all want to see superstars in at the end of the game and its hurting the product of the game of basketball if Lebron, Kobe, KD, etc are not in the game.

    I agree with you. I think it should work kinda like baseball and hitting batters with pitches. They won't kick someone out of a baseball game unless they see something starting to stir. I agree that there should still be a penalty after a certain few, but, if there is no tension between the two teams, getting kicked out is kind of a rash penalty.

    This might just be one of the stupidest ideas i have ever heard relating to basketball. So what if the player gets 10 more fouls, the other team gets 10 foul shots? Honestly, this idea is fuqqing horrible. GTFO

    That's the most stupidest thing I have ever heard. Don't listen to Jeff van gundy he comes up with wacky ideas like flagrant 3 fouls and technicals on flopping.

    Wait wait wait, I've heard this one before. The WWE tried it with football. Remember the XFL. It was awesome wasn't it? Am I right? Wait where are you going? Guys?...Oh yeah, it tanked. Here's your bucket with a hole in it. Yeah it's like your argument, it holds no water.
